If you’re doing “all the right things” (training, food, mobility, meditation) but still hitting a ceiling, this episode is your unlock. Patrick sits down with mentor and EMG pioneer David Lemke to expose what actually breaks performance and how to fix it fast.

We dig into what real-time surface EMG reveals about the body: why humans fail in predictable patterns, how fatigue shows up first (before pain), and why training in a flattened, symmetrical world keeps you stuck. You’ll learn why the extension chain (hamstrings → glutes → paraspinals + TVA) is the missing capacity engine for high performers and exactly how to wake it up.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• Why isolation training and mirror muscles cap your results
• The hamstring-first firing truth (and what it means for your core)
• How to correct the core twist and stop compensations
• The adductors/abductors mistake draining your glutes (and power)
• Simple upgrades: uneven surfaces, knees-out band work, laughter to activate TVA (yes, really)

If willpower worked, you’d be done by now. Upgrade the operating system.
